the site of Gov. Crosby's old residence and 1t will

people who at last have woke up to the needs of
the city and taken stock literally for the hotel.
Fairfield Journal.
The new hotel is progressing finely, thirty five
men working last week, more put on this week.
The location is of the finest the bay, over
looks the town and bay, (maybe river.) The right
men took stock to give it boom. II we have a

They will have both now. Real estate has risen.
All looks well for Belfast. Camden Herald.
